Whose side is Shang-Chi on? When he became leader of his family's Five Weapons Society, he promised to use it for good - but friends and foes alike have been unsure of his true intentions. Now, the stakes of GANG WAR will force Shang-Chi's hand as he vows to protect Chinatown - and take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the Five Weapon Society's biggest rivals! He'll use his world-class fighting skills as well as deceit, calculation and manipulation to navigate the battlefields - learning along the way that the Art of War is all about the shades of gray! Also featuring a trio of modern-classic tales! Shang-Chi and Spider-Man must stop the Mister Negative's Inner Demons from adding Hell's Kitchen to his criminal empire! Spider-Senseless, the wall-crawler turns to Shang-Chi to learn the Way of the Spider! And using an evil secret organization as a force for good gets a lot harder when Shang-Chi's fellow super heroes, including Spider-Man, start to see him as the bad guy! Collecting DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU: GANG WAR #1-3, SHADOWLAND: SPIDER-MAN, FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011 (SPIDER-MAN) and SHANG-CHI (2021) #1.
Film director and screenwriter Greg Pak’s first feature, the sci-fi anthology Robot Stories, won 35 awards; he broke into the comics industry when his agent sent Marvel the screenplay. After writing a Warlock reboot, Pak made a splash with the X-Men: Phoenix — Endsong limited series and a lengthy run on Incredible Hulk, highlighted by the “Planet Hulk” storyline and the World War Hulk crossover. In addition to the acclaimed Magneto: Testament and Red Skull: Incarnate limited series, a War Machine revival and the retitled Incredible Hulks, Pak has written Dynamite’s Battlestar Galactica and contributed to Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology. His efforts with co-writer Fred Van Lente include Incredible Hercules, Herc, Heroic Age: Prince of Power, an Alpha Flight relaunch and the Chaos War crossover. Pak introduced Amadeus Cho as a new Green Goliath in The Totally Awesome Hulk and delivered mutant mayhem in Weapon X.
